Good luck, Ken. I don't want to make you nervous or anything, but you should know that your podcast had better be completely flawless, attract the 18-34 demographic in record numbers, have a high Q rating, generate media buzz, have at least a million internet hits on its first day, and generate enormous numbers of page-clicks and ad traffic revenue, or else I will stop listening to it after the first 15 seconds and it will be cancelled immediately.
Just interview everybody you've worked with and the show will run at least until 2029 and the release of Star Wars XXXI: The Force Is Feeling Sleepy, So Sleepy....
Wow, I just listened to it and loved it! The 38 minutes flew by very quickly. The special effects interview was hilarious! I also really enjoyed listening to the recording of you in 1977. Regarding the award shows, I always think you sound very harsh when you write about them, but man, it really sounds brutal out loud. Your Emmy story is very funny, however! I rated it 5 stars, but I couldn't write a review because I didn't know my iTunes password, and I saw no place to "like" it. I clicked the subscribe button, but don't know if it worked since there was no indication. I'll try to figure those things out before the next one; I felt lucky to have figured out how to listen to it!
Ken: Your voice is demulcent. I could listen to you in Yoga! Only concern: I have been a steadfast reader of your blog for 9 years and love the tone of it. You have contoured a congenial, sage, yet wry image/brand in this arena. I wonder if the professional tone of your podcast voice might interfere with the risible and wry tone of your blog. I am having some trouble reconciling my conceit of you as a blogger and now a podcaster. Your blog has become sacrosanct to me and I just don't want the written word (my preference) to be defiled by your corporeal voice. I want my eagerness to read it everyday to stay in tact. Do you think you might be over-saturating your readers? I don't know much about show business but those are my humble thoughts.

ReplyDeleteSounds like an audio version of the blog.
Petting on the first date was funny.
I'm not comfortable with the f bombs, but it's your podcast.
But I will listen, as it is fun.
"Cleaver International Studios" -- Indeed!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Ken. I don't want to make you nervous or anything, but you should know that your podcast had better be completely flawless, attract the 18-34 demographic in record numbers, have a high Q rating, generate media buzz, have at least a million internet hits on its first day, and generate enormous numbers of page-clicks and ad traffic revenue, or else I will stop listening to it after the first 15 seconds and it will be cancelled immediately.
ReplyDeleteOther than that--don't sweat it!

ReplyDeleteJeez... this whole time I've been pronouncing your name Le-vEEn. Congrats and good luck.
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteI thought I left this comment earlier - guess not.
ReplyDeleteAndrew Bergman (writer of 'Blazing Saddles', among others) wrote a great detective parody some years ago, called 'Hollywood and Levine'.
The hero's name is Jack LeVine and my father was Jack Lavine (ahem, the *correct* spelling).

Love the logo. Very much in the style of You Must Remember This. So, that leads to a Friday Question: what podcasts, if any, do listen to regularly?

ReplyDeleteBut good luck and I will keep listening.
